In this episode: Dexter Morgan (7), James Doakes (2)
[voiceover] I always thought hardening arteries squeezed the life out of my father. But it was me. Harry gazed into the eyes of his creation and saw evil, pure and simple. My evil. It killed him.
That shit about your father. You wanna talk about it?
About what? That my life is one tragic mistake?
We've all felt that at one time or another. I know I have.
Did you happen to be stuffing a human leg into a garbage bag at that point?
[voiceover] Harry's heart gave out when he saw what's inside me. He thought he could tame it, give it a purpose, help it find a place in the natural order. Guess he was wrong.
[voiceover] It won't be long now. I can hang this on Doakes and then ... then what? Years of trials and appeals. With him pointing his finger and calling me killer. For such a neat monster I'm making an awfully big mess.
[voiceover] I'm the helpful handyman. How evil can I possibly be?
In the long run it would be easier on Deb. Rita. Better than watching me dragged in like an animal. Which, let's face it, will happen. Some day.
If I do this, I need a day to get my affairs in order.
That's fine. Tie me up, throw me in the trunk, come on, let's go.
I really enjoyed our conversations, James. I lie to everyone I know. Except my victims, right before I kill them. It's hard to establish much of a rapport there. Sorry about the cage.
